This year we celebrated Gracie's birthday with a big pool party at the Monroe Country Club. She invited all the girls in the 1st grade and some of the boys. It was a fun party. This was her first big party. She had all of her friends there. There was lots of swimming and jumping off the diving board. There were also lifeguards, which made it more enjoyable for the parents too. We had pizza and cake. She had so much fun but was very shy while opening her presents. She got so many nice things for her birthday. We still have some things we haven't even opened.
Gracie really enjoyed her 7th birthday party. The fun didn't stop with just Friday birthday party though, because Saturday we went to the Rodeo. She got to wear her new cowgirl hat from Mimi and Pop and her new cowgirl belt and boots from Aunt Kim and Uncle Artie. I must say she is the prettiest cowgirl I have ever seen. She got to see lots of horses. We were hoping to see the barrel racing but the place was packed and we left right before they started. Figures, that is the way it always happens. If we had of stayed it would have been one of the last things they did. They weren't disappointed that we left early because more fun was on the way. Hayden and Gracie got to spend the night with Kim. They were so excited for their girls night. Colton wasn't as happy about it but he was a big boy and took it well. The girls had so much fun with Kim. They really look up to her and want to be just like her. More fun still on the way....Hayden had Softball tryouts Sunday but Colton and Gracie stayed with Kim and Mimi and Pop. We still had to celebrate Gracie's party with just family. Grandmama and Linda came also...we had her favorite fried shrimp! She ate more than her share of it too. She also got a few more presents. I would say that we really went all out to make this wonderful little girls birthday very special this year. She kind of gets left out sometimes but she was the star for the whole weekend, well all week actually. Happy Birthday to my angel! Can't believe that she is 7!
Gracie is doing so well with her riding lessons that this week she gets to ride all by herself. She is so excited. She keeps asking when is it going to be Tuesday. I love that she loves it so much. She is my cowgirl. Her trainer says that she has wonderful control of the horses and is doing so well considering she has only had 5 or 6 lessons. Go Gracie Leigh....we can't wait to watch you show off all of your skills.
